Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Mozzarella
Slice the fresh mozzarella into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Fry the Mozzarella
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Dip each mozzarella slice in panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Salad
On a large serving plate, layer the heirloom tomato slices, fresh mozzarella, and fried mozzarella. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Add Garnishes
Top with chimichurri sauce, pickled onions, and fresh basil leaves.
Finish with Oils
Drizzle toasted chili oil and balsamic reduction over the top before serving.
